Consider consolidating client to a single minified file with embedded worker code
It might assist developer usability to embed worker code into a single minified file instead of requiring multiple files as per the current documentation. This could be done using URL.createObjectURL
and Blob
apis. For example:
var downloadWorkerUrl = URL.createObjectURL(
new Blob([
'<DOWNLOAD WORKER CODE HERE>'
], {type: 'text/javascript'})
);
// which can then be passed to a worker
var worker = new Worker(downloadWorkerUrl)
A scenario where this would be useful is if someone is trying to embed the client in a web-based environment (such as a third party survey tool) where they don't have the ability to upload other static assets to be fetched by the ndt-7 client code. It would also simplify usage in other contexts so that only a single file is needed.
This said, I don't know the client's current browser targets/ these APIs have support for the following:
